Quotes
He is a true pastor. I was deeply moved by his homily on the day of the inauguration of his ministry, particularly by the use of the image of the wasteland.

It seemed to me that in the words of the Holy Father there was a wonderful compassion and understanding of the suffering of people in today's world.
